The AGILE Mini-CALorimeter (MCAL) detected the short GRB 191031D at T0 =
2019-10-31 21:23:28.17 +/- 0.01 s (UTC), already detected by Fermi/GBM (GCN
#26111), Swift (D'Elia et al., 2019; GCN #26112), and INTEGRAL/SPIACS
(trignum=8402).
The event lasted about 0.2 s and released a total number of ~430 counts in
the detector (in the 0.4-100 MeV energy range), above an average background
rate of 544 counts / s.
The light curve shows a single peak episode and can be found at

The AGILE-MCAL detector is a CsI detector with a 4 pi FoV, sensitive in the
energy range 0.4-100 MeV. Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.
